Proposed MAC Motions September17, 2014 <TG8 Group>
Motions in July Meeting <TG8 Group>
Motion 1: Frame • Frame: the structure is defined as the following periods in order Synchronization period, Discovery period, Peering period, Contention Access period, and Contention Free period. • The duration of a frame is also the synchronization interval which is fixed with a value of TBD. • The duration of each period is fixed and the values are TBD. <TG8 Group>
Motion2: Working Assumptions for a Superframe • Superframe: contains multiple frames which will be considered as an optional feature on the condition that the following are proved • Creating and maintaining Superframecan be performed with reasonable overhead. • Creating and maintaining Superframeover a large area is possible especially with multi-hop. • Not having the knowledge about the Superframestructure does not affect a PD’s capability of discovery and peering. • Having Superframestructure provides substantial benefit that outweighs the overhead required to create and maintain Superframe. <TG8 Group>
Motion 3:Synchronization Procedure • Synchronization Procedure includes the following sub-procedures: • Initial Synchronization procedure • Maintaining Synchronization procedure • Re-Synchronization procedure • A PD starts Initial Synchronization procedure if the PD does not have its own reference timing. • e.g. when the PD powers on, etc. • After successful Initial Synchronization procedure, a PD makes a transition to Maintaining Synchronization procedure. • A PD may make a transition to Re-synchronization procedure from Maintaining Synchronization procedure according to a triggering condition. • TBD: a triggering condition <TG8 Group>
Motion 4: Initial Synchronization • To acquire a reference timing, a PD scans for the existing synchronization signals during a TBD time. • If it detects the synchronized condition, it derives its own timing from the detected synchronization signal. • The synchronized condition is determined from asynchronization signal or multiple synchronization signals with the same timing detected during the scanning period. • If it detects multiple synchronization signals with different timing during the scanning period, it performs a synchronization procedure based on the timings derived from the detected synchronization signals. • The synchronization procedure includes at least adjusting its own timing based on the derived timings. • If it fails to detect any synchronization signal, it starts to send synchronization signal with its own timing. <TG8 Group>
Motion 5:Maintaining Synchronization • A PD maintains its own timing reference based on measurement of synchronization signals. • Maintaining Synchronization procedure includes at least fine adjustment of timing reference and triggering of Re-Synchronization procedure. • If unsynchronized condition for fine adjustment is met, it adjusts its own timing based on the detected synchronization signal during Synchronization period. • If unsynchronized condition for Re-Synchronization is met, it makes a transition to Re-Synchronization procedure. • TBD: details of unsynchronized conditions <TG8 Group>
Motion6: PHY Discovery Signal <TG8 Group> • Discovery signal is transmitted via UWB, OFDM, or DFT-S OFDM . • DFT-S OFDM or OFDM • Discovery information bits are mapped onto one or more discovery resource blocks (DRBs). The preambles are included (not shown). • A Discovery Resource Block comprises one or multiple of time resources or time and frequency resources. • UWB (TBD) • Fairness • PDs
Motion7: Information for Discovery <TG8 Group> • For the purpose of discovery of PDs, the discovery information represents one or more of the following IDs Device ID, Device Group ID, Application type ID, Application-specific ID, Application-specific user ID, Application-specific group ID. • The discovery information is not limited to IDs mentioned above.
Motion8: Discovery Type <TG8 Group> The Discovery type is defined by a higher layer. The MAC messages should support at least the following discovery types: • Advertisement: In Advertisement type discovery, a PD broadcasts its own discovery information and does not expect responses. • Publish/Subscribe: In Publish/Subscribe type discovery, a PD broadcasts its own discovery information and expects responses from PDs that have discovered the broadcast message(s). • Query/Reply: In Query/Reply type discovery, a PD broadcasts the discovery information of the PD or PDs being queried and expects a response or responses from the PD or PDs, accordingly.
Motion9: MAC Discovery Messages <TG8 Group> MAC shall support at least the following discovery messages: • Discovery Request message • Discovery Response message
Motion10: Re-Synchronization • It performs a synchronization procedure based on the timings derived from the detected synchronization signals. • The synchronization procedure includes at least adjusting its own timing based on the derived timings. <TG8 Group>
Motion11: Peering /Re-peering/De-peering <TG8 Group> MAC shall support the following procedures: Peering Re-peering De-peering Peering is the procedure to establish a link between a pair of PDs or links among multiple PDs discovered during the discovery procedure. Re-peering is the procedure to re-establish a link between a pair of PDs or links among multiple PDs which peered previously. In the re-peering procedure, peering may be simplified. De-peering is the procedure to disconnect the link established by peering.
Motion12: Peering Messages <TG8 Group> MAC shall support the following peering messages: • Peering Request message • Peering Response message
Motion13: Re-peering Messages <TG8 Group> MAC shall support the following re-peering messages: • Re-peering Request message • Re-peering Response message
Motion14: De-peering Messages <TG8 Group> MAC shall support the following De-peering messages: • De-peering Request message • De-peering Response message
Motion15: Peering Procedure <TG8 Group> The peering procedure is initiated by sending a peering request message including peering information. Responder shall send a peering response message to requestor to indicate whether the peering request is accepted or rejected. The response message may include peering information if the request is accepted.
Motion16: Re-peering Procedure <TG8 Group> • Re-peering procedure is similar to peering procedure. The main differences are: 1) some of the previous peering information may not be included in request and response messages; 2) the PD receiving the re-peering request validates re-peering information with the corresponding peering information before it accepts the re-peering request. TBD: parameters for validation may be Peering IDs, or Link IDS, etc.
Motion17: De-peering Procedure <TG8 Group> De-peering procedure starts with a de-peering request. De-peering response is optional.
Motion18: Working Assumption PHY Peering Procedure <TG8 Group> The following proposals are working assumptions and the final procedure is TBD. ETRI: PPDU Format for Peering Request in PSDU NICT: the peering request is implemented as Random Access Preamble illustrated
Motion19: Communication Period • Communication period comprises Contention Access period (CAP) and Contention-free period (CFP). • CAP is located prior to CFP in a Frame. • The durations of CAP and CFP are fixed. • Unicast, multicast, or broadcast data packets are transmitted during Communication period. • Control packets may be transmitted during Communication period. • E.g. Control packets for scheduling, group management, etc. <TG8 Group>
Motion20: CAP • A PD transmits control/data packets during CAP period using the following access scheme: • LBT (Listen-before-Talk) • CSMA-CA • The conditions to increase Contention Window (CW) are TBD: • For example: • when it does not receive an ACK after transmitting a unicast packet and • when it detects a collision after transmitting a multicast/broadcast packet. • The conditions to decrease Contention Window (CW) are TBD. • For example: • when detecting no collision for TBD time. • Any further enhancement is not limited. <TG8 Group>
Motion21: CFP CFP comprises Scheduling Request period, Scheduling Response period, Resource slots (RSs). Only a PD with Link ID shall exchange Scheduling Request and Scheduling Response messages. The scheduled PD transmits one or more data packets in scheduled RS(s). Any further enhancement is not limited. TBD: Other possibilities to reuse RS by non-scheduled PDs. <TG8 Group>

Motion 22: Discovery Request Message • Discovery Request Message shall include source address. Source address type and length are TBD. • Moved: Huan-Bang Li • Second: Marco Hernandez • Yes: 6 • No: 0 • Abstain: 0 <TG8 Group>
